Multiple times throughout my trading career I’ve gone on what’s called a tilt - a few days or weeks of unhinged and most likely emotionally fueled trading. 

Typically these were days where I wasn’t sleeping well, had been overly stressed, or had taken a massive loss as a result of not being able to follow my rules. 

Over the years it’s become increasingly less and less common but there was a time when I first became profitable that was plagued by my inability to essentially keep my shit together while I traded and that in turn lead to loss after loss to the point where I was forced to pull myself out of trading all together or risk losing my account by a death of a thousand cuts.

Over the course of the next two videos, I want to break down the recovery system I and my students use to not only know when it’s time to take a break from trading but also so that we have a plan that will help us work our way back into full profitability. 

Now in today’s video, I’m going to be going over what’s arguably the most important part of the recovery system and that’s being able to actually identify the problems and bottlenecks you might be facing when it comes to figuring out what’s keeping you from becoming or staying profitable.
